Precautions & Patch Test Guidance
Always conduct a 24-hour patch test behind the ear before full scalp application. The natural sulfur aroma is potent; wash thoroughly with a gentle sulfate-free shampoo. Do not apply on broken, weeping, or severely scratched scalp skin.
For any topical preparation, always conduct a 24-hour inner-arm skin patch test first. Informational traditional wisdom only—not medical advice. Read full Health Disclaimer .
